Get your Pura Vida... wet! Join us for near and/or offshore fishing, dolphin and snorkeling trips, a sunset tour, or a booze cruise. Whether you're a hard core fisherman/woman, or just want to get on the water, we will work with you to design the best trip possible. All trips include fresh tropical fruits, cold drinks (water and something harder) and the exclusive Wahoo cookies. Tours over 4 hours include sandwiches and vegies. Our captain, Pino, was born and raised in Puerto Viejo. He knows the southern Caribe like you know your living room... it is his living room. He will delight you with his humor as he coaches you in the ways of traditional line fishing. If the water's right, he'll dive and find you a langosta for dinner. Rods, reels, bait and tackle included, as well as snorkeling equipment. Boat equipped with GPS, fishfinder, bimini top, fresh water shower, and PFD's. Find us on the beach across from The Parquecito and Tex Mex in Puerto Viejo. Put the Wahoo in your Costa Rica vacation!

We did a 1/2 day trip and despite the rain and ending a bit early as a result it was still a great time. Pino is excellent to fish and hang out with. The fish weren't really biting too much, but we caught a couple,...More

Thank you, Jenn! We are really fortunate to live in such a beautiful place and sharing it with folks like you brings us even more delight. Pino is indeed the real deal--his skill, relaxed manner, and most of all his humor! We hope to see...More

Book Pino and Nick. Super knowledgeable and ultra friendly.
We've never been fishing before and it was great. Caught lots of jack's which were cooked in 'Hot Rocks' restaurant on our return which was fab.
We also went snorkeling which I loved. They supplied all...More

We stopped up at Hot Rocks looking to book a fishing trip the next day (our last in Puerto Viejo). Unfortunately the timing was bad. Pino was busy and Nick's boat was getting a new motor put on. Everyone else they contacted were just busy....More

Thank you for the nice shout-out! We're so glad you enjoyed your trip with Dover. He's a hoot, isn't he. We were disappointed it wouldn't work out with our boats, but knew Pino's cousin would be a close second.
Next time...

Janet was great to correspond with and Nick & Pino did a fine job touring my three children and me around. The fish weren't biting much, but we had a nice run up the coast and caught up with some dolphin around Monkey point. Always...More

I'm with you, just being on the water is such a transforming experience, and I take great pride in the care my husband and captain (Nick and Pino, respectively) provide our guests.
Thank you for taking the time to review your trip, we'll do what...More

I have fished a lot, and have come to realize that there are two things that make for a great day. Knowing where the fish are, and spending quality time in a small boat with people that you actually like. When it comes to the...More

Hey Owen, I enjoyed our day on the water as much as you. It's always fun to be on the boat with someone who is just living in the moment and enjoying the ride, and it paid off eventually! Sometimes I think Pino has the...More

Although we had booked and paid a deposit several months in advance, when we turned up at 7am on the morning of the trip, we were told they had double-booked. However, luckily (for us at least) we were prioritised and went out on the boat....More

We apologize for the disappointing day you had with us, clearly we were not on our best game, and thus realizing that, we offered you a significant refund, to which you replied, "Absolutely not, it was part of the adventure". The mistake with the scheduling...More

As a single traveler with some tours requiring a minimum of 4 people, Herman and assistant Novia have gone out of their way in assisting me in finding others to share ATV, National Park tour and fishing trips. They both speak excellent English. I can...More

Thanks for the shout out. We are always happy to put single travelers on a shared boat, or even send you out solo with our captain on his little boat. We're proud that the local tour agencies have put their trust in us, and are...More

We spent almost a year planning our trip to Costa Rica with our 4 kids and this deep sea fishing trip was suppose to be the highlight, we were all looking so forward to it! First I have to say that Nick and Pino were...More

We had two back-to-back disappointing tours, and I can only assure you we learned some valuable lessons that week. Life happens, and as ex-pats living in Costa Rica, some of Nick and my lives exist thousands of miles away. I was out of the country...More

This trip was the best day ever! I have never been hand line fishing and it was so much fun. You do not have to travel far offshore (no worries about getting seasick although I did take a Dramamine) and as soon as you drop...More

Thank you, Stephanie, for taking the time to write about your trip out on Wahoo! We take pride in providing a unique Caribe Sur experience for our guests. Sometimes the conditions are just perfect and we're trolling, bringing in big fighting fish; sometimes the seas...More

What a great day out on the waters with Pico as our captain! We went as a group of 4 for an all day excursion in which we caught many different kinds of fish topped off with a snorkeling trip in the afternoon. Pico took...More

Thanks for the nice review, and especially for recognizing the wonderful man we work with. Pino has been with us since we opened the company, in fact, we probably wouldn't do it without him!!
There are few things that top a day on and in...More

G'morning Scott, the seas are flat flat flat! Lago Caribeno yesterday, been catching macks and kings. With seas this flat though, the captain has also been diving. Kilo sized lobster and fist sized conches. We call these days "perfect".
There is a single person who is also looking for a tour to join, we are usually able to work things out. Give us a call (or e-mail) when you get to town. 8601-5294 Nick.
